The Reverends Jesse Jackson and William Barber were arrested Monday along with 37 others during a sit-in at Democratic Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s office in Phoenix calling on her to support ending the filibuster to help pass voting rights legislation. The Reverend Barber and the Poor People’s Campaign begin a 27-mile march for voting rights in Texas today. Organizers have described it as a “Selma-to-Montgomery style” march.
